KDE's Plasma Media Center (PMC) is aimed towards a unified media experience on PCs, Tablets, Netbooks, TVs and any other device that is capable of running KDE software. PMC can be used to view images, play music or watch videos. Media files can be on the local filesystem or accessed with KDE’s Desktop Search. This stable release of PMC has a basic set of features:

We don't have a package yet, but following the build steps you can build it very easily on Raspbian. The only caveat is that video playback won't be that smooth (yet), but music and photos should work just fine.

Nice work guys. Is the guy from Bangarang working on this with you? His project is awesome, is built using all of KDE's pillars and it overlaps a lot with the work you're doing, just wondering if he's involved at all?

Sadly no, at least as of now. We'd love to work together, actually I see that there are lots of KDE multimedia apps have a lot of overlap as you said. We should do some kind of multimedia framework/pillar for KDE so that we can do this properly. I plan to have a BoF at Akademy about this.
Thanks a lot for the idea :)
